Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 16
Healthy dark red. Blackberry, violet, rose petal and licorice on the nose; more Clos Vougeot than Chambolle-Musigny in character (this climat lies between Clos Vougeot and Chambolle Amoureuses). Concentrated and dense but with a light touch. Quite youthfully bound up today, showing a faint saline quality. A black-fruit style of this wine, with serious tannins. Classy juice.
